And the seats were known to wear at higher rates causing the valve to sink further into the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe valves of the 7.3 are commonly known to wear down well below the margins. Leaving razor sharp edges that can fail leaving the piston to take on the remainder of the valve in the cylinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe only use brand new valves that exceed OEM standards, which do not have this issue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcess Sand From Casting Process - Excess Sand from the manufacturing process while uncommon, can clog the oil cooler, but more commonly would beat upon the water pump causing premature failure. By use of our extensive cleaning methods thru media blasting, furnaces, spray cabinets, hot tanks, and ultra sonic equipment, we have protected your investment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowdered Metal Rods- For the most part, 2001-2003 7.3L's came with Powdered Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRods that were prone to failure around the 400 HP mark. These rods are only an issue at higher HP levels which is why we use forged rods for anything above 400 HP.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional Parts are not installed.
